Line 18:
* [[Body Horror]]: What befalls Hissa on Duro.
* [[Call a Rabbit a Smeerp]]: Whaladons (take a big fat guess as to which endangered Earth animals these stand in for in the book's [[Green Aesop]]<ref> [[Comically Missing the Point|Gorillas? It's Gorillas, isn't it?]] </ref>) and "braze" (brown haze, i.e. smog), among others.
* [[Canon Dis ContinuityDiscontinuity]]: Not quite, but the events of the books have been made a lot less significant to the overall ''[[Star Wars]]'' story than the writers probably intended. Also, the decision of Lucasfilm to cancel the series just as other, better received, EU novels (such as [[The Thrawn Trilogy|Zahn's trilogy]]) were getting big has been interpreted by some observers as a damage-limitation exercise.
** At one point it was pretty much treated as completely non-canon (some gaming sourcebooks aside), but current Lucasfilm policy seems to be that nothing is so contradictory to the rest of the EU that it can't be fixed with a big enough [[Retcon]].
*** In particular, according to an article in issue 103 (October 1994) of the ''Polyhedron'' [[Tabletop RPG]] magazine (albeit unlicensed), the series was actually a youngling-friendly retelling of those events by Leia Organa Solo to her children.
